The 2009 Detroit Auto Show is the best car show in the world. There, we've said it.
Never mind those people wringing their hands about snow on the ground, the aging facilities at Cobo Hall and the antiquated image of Detroit as the rusted capitol of yesterday's technology. Instead you should see this as the most important presentation of cars and trucks in the world.
Sure, times are tough. This year the display stands are more like new-car showrooms than Vegas-style theaters. Several car manufacturers decided to save money by staying home instead of building displays for Detroit (there's even talk about cancelling the 2009 Tokyo Auto Show altogether). But even though some carmakers have wimped out this year, if you want to know what's going on in the world of cars, you go to Detroit. The European manufacturers know it, the Japanese and Korean manufacturers know it, even the Chinese manufacturers know it.
